Thanksgiving

So obviously it has been a little while since our last post and honestly it has just been laziness from not downloading the pictures that I wanted to show ya'll.

We had such a great time in Georgia it was a fun but exhausting vacation. I think Corey tried to see everyone that he has ever known in those short few days that we were there. We had an interesting trip over trying to get all three of us (Allyson of course came as well) with all of our luggage and getting to the airport by about 6 am. My poor little sister Dani was so kind that she drove us up on Thanksgiving morning. Happy Thanksgiving to her, waking up at 5:30am.

It was neat though especially for Corey's Grandparents because for the first time in about 5 years or so that they have had every single child, grandchild, and great-grandchild together. That of course meant that we had to take a family picture.

So here is the whole Cattell family. This really was the highlight for Grandaddy and I'm glad he got to have this picture taken. Don't ask me how I got put in the front of this picture either, I really wasn't very happy about that.

We were also so excited to be there because Corey's favorite cousin (they are practically brother and sister they are so close) blessed her baby girl and that was such a treat for Corey to be able to be there and be a part of that. Those pictures will have to come later because well I haven't downloaded them yet.

The day before we left we headed up to Atlanta with Carol and Joe(Corey's Parents) and went to the Georgia Aquarium. It was so much fun to go and see all the different sea animals. This was something that I had never done and it really was a fun day. Here is a picture to show you just how much Corey had. Joe and Corey liked to pretend that they were being eaten by piranhas, of course he really like the penguins. I think they might just be one of his new friends.

My Sister Cedar had her baby the day before we go home, Little Baby Annistyn as the neighbor girl calls her is just so pretty and special. I don't have any pictures yet of her to put up here but I will get some later. However, I have found that it isn't quite as fun for me to hold her because my big belly gets in the way, no fun!!

Other than that there isn't to much to report the baby is healthy and we just feel really blessed to just be having a good healthy pregnancy. We are all excited for Christmas and this years seems to be really a time that I'm truly counting my blessings, for all the love, help, and support that we have received from so many of you this year.

A new adventure

So we decided that we better do something where we could be able to post pictures and tell stories of our adventures and boring times so here is our blog.

So we just moved into a new house in Springville. We moved into a bigger home so that Ally and the new baby could both be with us and not have to share a room. Just in case some of you don't know Corey and I are due to have a baby boy on February 15. We have decided to name him Derek Franklin. Corey is so excited to have a boy and as he puts it to have lineage. He is always wanting to buy new firefighter outfits for the baby and anything else that looks fun. I just keep getting bigger and am just amazed at how fast my body has changed and continues to change.

Allyson is still living with us and working hard to save money for school. She graduated from American Fork High School last May and is hard at work planning to attend Utah Valley State College next fall. She loves dating and has fun with her singles ward, however, I think she might be a little nervous with the recent move to have to go to a new ward (don't worry we all are).
